Seattle lost for just the second time in the campaign after going down 4-1 to Portland Timbers in their last game. Raul Ruidiaz put them in front 13 minutes after the restart, but a late implosion from the Greens saw them concede four times in the span of just 18 minutes.

Minnesota are three positions adrift of Seattle, having accrued five points fewer than them, while also coming into the fixture on the back of consecutive defeats.

Seattle Sounders have been really impressive so far this season, relying on their menacing attacking vanguard to see off their opponents.

Minnesota, in comparison, have had a rather stop-start campaign so far, and their inconsistency could hurt them in this match against a solid unit. We expect the Sounders to secure a narrow victory.
